I don't like Trout at 2 in a draft like this, he strikes out way to much, hard not to love Mickey and The Man 3-4 though, great lineup for EHB. If anyone has as good of 1-5 as me its UK, love what he did there, Foxx is so underrated its stupid. Both benches are pretty good, UK went a little more defensive which I don't have a problem with, benches aren't deciding this one for me. Both pens are pretty good, im a big Henke guy but again no clear winner in the pen. For me it's the rotation where UK wins, I love Maddux and even though Glavine deserves more respect than I give him it's very difficult to beat Walter, Sandy, Lefty. If this series goes 7 I got my money on Sandy besting Glavine.

I think both lineups are fantastic, I like my combination of speed, power and average, but EHB has a great offense too. I did go a little more for D on the bench, I would only look to pinch hit in situations. I like both bullpens, both teams have closers, set ups and long guys. I think the edge for me is in the rotation, I think I would have the advantage in all 5 of the matchups head to head, and that's too much to overcome IMO.

UK in 6

 

[Mebert]

UK has the best pitching in this thing, I love ehbs lineup though. Helton is one of my all time favorites. He could turn an 0-2 count into a 15 pitch battle and more often then not he ends up on base. He was a nightmare on pitchers.

In the end it's bats vs pitching, I usually take pitching in those battles. I Have UK winning

I got UK here too, there are pieces of EHBs offense that doesn't make sense to me...

I love his modern rotation, but don't think Price belongs in these mocks at all, and not sure how felix ranks either...

 

[Ritzarmy]

I like EHB's lineup better. I like UK's rotation better. Bullpen I feel is even. I like UK's bench just slightly better. I think UK's pitching could do enough against EHB's hitters to get him the win. UK to win.

Certainly a great rotation from UK but I think my lineup has enough to survive
